To all whom itmay concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST NEWMAN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Rockford, in the county of \Vinnebago and State of Illinois, have invented, certam new and useful Improvements in Gloves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

The improvements consist in what is herein shown, described and claimed; particular references being had to what is known to the trade as combination tended for hard usa e and which have their palms, thumbs am? fourchettes of higher grade material than the backs, the object of said improvements being to avoid excess of materia in the palms of the gloves, to make said gloves seamless in the palms at the quirks of the thumbs and to protect a seam in each glove at the base of t e two middle fin ers of same.

igure 1 of the drawings represents a plan view of a glove palm side uppermost and embodyin my improvement partly broken away; ig. 2, a similar view back side uppermost; Fig. 3, a sectional view of a fragment of the glove on the plane indicated by line 3-3 in Fig. 1; Fig. 4, a plan view of a frag ment of said glove having the two midd e fingers thereof bent back, and Figs. 5 to 11 inclusive plan views of various pieces of the aforesaid glove.

Referring by letters to the drawings, A indicates the back piece of the glove, the portions 1 to 4 inclusive of the same being the finger backs. The front piece B of the glove includes the palm, fronts 1, 4, of the first and fourth fingers, and a portion C of the thumb, the remainder of the thumb being the pieceD best shown by Fig. 9. The

ieces 2 and 3 are the fourchette pieces or ronts of the two middle fin ers, the piece E a seam-protectin strip an strip of material or remforcing the quirk of the thumb in the glove.'

' The palm or front piece aforesaid having the thumb, first finger and fourth finger projections C, 1', 4, 1s preferably of a higher grade material than the back piece A, and the same is also true of the fronts 2, 3, of the two middle fingers and the back D of the thumb.

The glove being sewed up, a lap b of the front 0 of the thumb extends rearward over the back D. of said thumb to which it is gloves especially inextends between the first and second the lap-seam by the piece F astitched far enough in the rear to make said igllove absolutely smooth and seamless in ont at the quirk of the aforesaid thumbwhere a seam would be inthe way, exposed to wear and a source of annoyance and inconvenience to the wearer of the aforesaid love. The quirk of the thumb is reinorced by the piece F caught between the front and back of said thumb inside of the glove and lapped on the thumb-back outside of said glove where it is secured bythe thumb-stltchi The palm of fiie glove is lap-seamed on the fourchette pieces 2, 3, of the two middle,

fingers, and the strip E is stitched wro side out to said palm and first and fourth finger extensions 1, 4, thereof below the lap-seam over which it is folded right side out to form a protective welt covering its own seam and sa1d lap-seam. The seam covering portion of the welt is free, and one end of this welt fingers of the finished love, its other end bei bietween the thir and fourth fingers of sai g ove.

a manner as to form approxnnately onefourth of each of the fingers, and when said glove is sewed up all the ongitudinal seams draw to the back of said glove, and which the palm is joined cross-wise thereof to the fourchette pieces of the two middle fingers being covered, no seams are exposed at the front of the hand, the thumb-seamc being to one side.

Shown sewed to the glove above specified is a wrist portion G common in the art, said.

glove as a whole being of the gauntlet-type.

I claim:

1. A glove having the frontC of its thumb integral with its a m provided with a lap 1; extended over a aok-piece D to which it is stitched, the seam being far enou h in the rear to be out of the way unexpose to wear, whereby the glove is smooth and seamless in front at the quirk of the thumb, and a reinforce piece F caught between the front and back of the glove and lapped on the thumbback outside said glove where it is secured by the stitching in the rear seam of said thumb.

2. A glove having second and third finger fourchette pieces or fronts 2 3, on which the palm is lap-seamed and another piece E that is separately stitched wrong side out to The back piece A of the glove is cut in such said palm and first and fourth finger extenhavehereunto set my hand at Rockford in the sions thereof below the lap-seem aforesaid county of Winnebago and State of Illinois in 10 and tlherfiafter folded right side out toi forra the presence of two witnesses.
